Instead, Sheyan took note of Eva's words, as he bowed deeply to the side.
"Honourable goddess, please forgive my presumptuousness ….. since you desire peace, then why can't we negotiate? My friend doesn't rely on plundering and devouring the corpses of other creatures to sustain his life. His survival and evolution are completely different! He is just like the Hometree, merely relying on the energy of the ores to survive for a very long period of time. "
"If you feel that his tribe is excessively powerful, then that's fine. He can shrink the scale of his base, and take the initiative to kill his own soldiers to reduce his own fighting capabilities. Please believe me, the only thing he needs is those ores. If you can show mercy and grant him a little space to live, then peace will once again descend upon planet Pandora. "
Obviously, Sheyan's final words had deeply moved Eva. It seemed like she wasn't a person who liked war. Eva suspiciously asked.
"Are you speaking the truth?"
Sheyan smiled gently.
"You can personally verify this point with them."
The Blackthorn Overmind clumsily flew up, facing Goddess Eva from afar.
"Honourable spirit of nature, his words are all true. If you are willing to grant me the right to live and reside here, then I can reduce my army, and shrink the scale of my territory. Previously, I was forced to offer half of my energy units to my Queen. Now that I have escaped from her evil clutches, just this piece of ores is sufficient for me to evolve and survive for several years. "
Goddess Eva seemed to be unwilling to wage war again. After all, this wasn't her domain of expertise. After conversing with the Blackthorn tribe for a while, she laid out her bottom line.
"Firstly, the Blackthorn tribe's territory has reached its limit, it absolutely cannot expand."
"Secondly, the Blackthorn tribe's population cannot exceed a thousand."
"Thirdly, the Blackthorn tribe can possess their own army to defend themselves. However, apart from zerglings and hydralisks, they cannot produce any other combat creatures. Of course, the rare elite creatures like 'Jani' are an exception. However, the total number of these rare elite creatures cannot exceed 50. "
As long as these three conditions were fulfilled, then Goddess Eva could "benevolently" permit the Blackthorn tribe to reside here. Moreover, they would possess the same right to live as other living creatures.
To Goddess Eva, she could tell that this strange tribe could only construct their structures on that layer of mucus. Thus, the first condition was to control their scale of development. The second condition was to fill in the gaps of the first condition.
In her view, a tribe of a thousand was considered a large scale tribe. Even amongst the na'vi, such tribes weren't considered rare. As for the viperwolves and slingers, they would easily surpass that number. One must be aware, the Blackthorn tribe's previous war war with the Blackthorn tribe numbered at least 5,000, or even 10,000! In that case, the threat it posed to the other races would be greatly reduced!
The third condition was to restrict the emergence of creatures with extremely powerful individual combat capabilities, to prevent the Blackthorn tribe from walking the path of elite troops. To Goddess Eva, she still hadn't realized that the disparity between her and the Blackthorn tribe was actually in the concept of war command. She was merely assessing the threat level of the enemy based on the strength of the creature. For example, in her concept, 3 zerglings were required to defeat a viperwolf, and 2 hydralisks were required to defeat a slinger. Hence, she very simply concluded that such a regulation could bind the Blackthorn tribe to the pinnacle.
Facing these three generous conditions, Sheyan's heart was bursting with joy. Moreover, the Blackthorn Overmind also felt that it was still acceptable. Even if Eva had any malicious intentions, relying on her formidable investigative capabilities (Arachnid overlords don't possess any combat capabilities, and don't take up much population. Furthermore, they could fly at high speeds, hence they could be casually created), as well as a thousand zerglings and hydralisks, it was sufficient to support them until the birth of a high class unit.
However, after pondering for a moment, Sheyan proposed an additional condition.
"Fourth: If someone initiates an attack on the Blackthorn tribe, and threatens the survival of the Blackthorn tribe's main structure, then this restriction can be temporarily lifted. However, within an hour after the battle ends, it must revert back to the first three conditions."
This fourth condition was the advantageous authority that Sheyan had obtained on behalf of the Blackthorn tribe. Mother Nature Eva had always believed that she could suppress the Blackthorn tribe. After hesitating for a moment, she still agreed to this condition. Besides, the Blackthorn Overmind had hit the nail on the head. What if Mother Nature Eva went back on her word, and controlled a large number of tribes to attack her? Although Mother Nature Eva was furious at this statement, and felt that this hypothesis was an insult to her dignity.
Hence, peace abruptly descended. The clash between the beast and arachnid horde, thus ended with a strong start and weak finish. But for Sheyan, who had a smile on his face, this Golden Side Mission was a brand new beginning!
In the instance of an agreement, Sheyan suddenly received a notification from his nightmare imprint.
"The Blackthorn tribe's prowess has increased substantially."
"The Blackthorn tribe has officially broken away from the Blade Empress, and become an independent race of Pandora."
"Blackthorn tribe leader: Overmind Blackthorn, your current relationship with you is' Worshipped '."
"The Blackthorn tribe has obtained a title bestowed by the realm: 'Unique'!"
"From now on, the Blackthorn tribe in other parallel dimensions will suffer an irreversible destructive blow within an hour. Apart from this realm, there won't be any other Blackthorn arachnids appearing in other parallel realms. "
"Details: Your relationship with a powerful storyline character with the title 'Unique' has reached 'Worshipped'."
"Details: Silver grade milestone 'One Hand Covers The Heavens' activated."
"Milestone requirement: Reach 'Worshipped' relationship with at least two powerful storyline characters with the title 'Unique'."
"Milestone progress: 1/2."
"Milestone achievement reward title: 'One Hand Covers The Heavens'."
At this moment, Sheyan glanced towards Mogensha and Reef. Noticing the same astonished expression on their faces, he knew they must've received the same notification at the same time. Sheyan then hurriedly inquired with his authority.
"Please introduce title: 'One Hand Covers The Heavens' attribute."
"Investigating: With your current military rank, investigating the details of this title requires a payment of 10,000 utility points. There is no guarantee of obtaining complete information. Please confirm payment of utility points before proceeding?"
Seeing this notification, Sheyan wasn't startled but instead elated, immediately selecting 'Yes'.
"Platinum grade title: 'One Hand Covers The Heavens'."
"Legend level + 1 upon equipping."
"Additional attribute: 'Cornerstone'. This additional attribute is extremely useful in title synthesis. Due to your insufficient authority, you are unable to further investigate this information. "
Sheyan was extremely calm, but he instantly sucked in a breath of cold air. He immediately shared the information he obtained. Simultaneously, Mogensha and Reef both sucked in a breath of cold air. They were extremely clear on the benefits of a legend level! With such an opportunity before their eyes, they definitely couldn't let it slip by.
After calming down his agitated emotions, Reef started to ponder deeply. After a brief pause, he finally spoke.
"Seems like the crux of the matter lies in granting the storyline character a 'Unique' title. Think about the process of interacting with the Blackthorn tribe, his growth from start to end. Think about what the realm has to do to bestow a title upon him. "
After an intense discussion, Sheyan and Reef concluded with 3 points.
"Firstly, the storyline character must be sufficiently weak, enough to be a soy sauce. More specifically, it must have a low level of potential, and basically wouldn't intersect with the main storyline."
"Secondly, the storyline character's growth must be sufficiently formidable. As the leader of a tribe, the Blackthorn Overmind's combat prowess is reflected in his commanding abilities. But to this tribe, he should at least be a tier-7, no, possibly a tier-8 legendary creature!"
"Third, this storyline character might have to willingly leave the world that they used to live in …"
Of course, there might be other conditions, but these 3 points were definitely the foundation. Thus, after the discussion concluded, Mogensha and Reef simultaneously stared at Sheyan with fixed gazes … … .as if by prior agreement, two words sprung out from their mouths.
"Lass Melody!! Boss!!! "
*****
Although they had reached a peaceful agreement, Mother Nature Eywa didn't leave as easily as she had come. Instead, she stood silently by the side, observing the Blackthorn arachnid. After ascertaining that he was indeed harvesting ores, and living off ores, she swiftly dissolved back into the ground. At this moment, Sheyan instigated the Blackthorn Overmind.
"Brother, it's time to open up a sub base."
The nature of the arachnid race was to expand and occupy. The Blackthorn Overmind instantly replied with excitement.
"Really? You know of any other places with mineral deposits? "
Sheyan smiled gently.
"Yes, but although the mineral deposits there are astonishing, the purity of the ores is exceedingly low. I reckon it'll be an exceedingly troublesome affair to extract the ores. According to my knowledge, the humans of this world had given up due to the exorbitant cost of mining. But I wonder if you can mine it?"
*****
Can anyone guess, how did the Blackthorn Overmind wretchedly open up a sub base without violating the agreement? Heh heh, same old rules, 15 points for a correct answer. (To be continued.
